Phenology “wheels” are interactive lunar calendars that aid our awareness of seasonal shifts through recording observations like sunrise and sunset time, temperature and weather, and plant and animal behavior. Kohenet Riv created a phenology wheel for each Hebrew month of 5781, often including great detail alongside illustrations of natural phenomena and interspecies kin.
Riv’s Kislev phenology wheel and accompanying poetry are featured in the Miknaf Ha’aretz 5781 Chanukah Zine below:
